Eric, it's possible to allow users to sign in to ORCID using their
institution's credentials:
https://members.orcid.org/api/integrate/institution-sign-in . ORCID
offers lots of tech support, as does the ORCID US Commumity (
https://www.lyrasis.org/Leadership/Pages/orcid-technical-support.aspx ).
If you're not finding what you're looking for, I suggest posting to
the discussion forum of the ORCID US Community: see

Does anybody here have experience implementing ORCID authentication, and if so,

I am thinking about creating a public service. While people will be able to use
much of the service sans authentication, the system's complete set of features
will only be accessible after authentication. I don't need nor want to store
usernames or passwords. Yuck and scary. Moreover, people don't need YAUAPC (Yet
Another Username And Password Combination). I think ORCID may be a good way for
me to enable people to authenticate. Provide people with a link, they
authenticate via ORCID, I get a unique identifier for the person, and I know
they are not some sort of robot. Moreover, based on the content of the
resulting ORCID ID, I might be able to provide enhanced services of some kind.
Have y'll done something like this? If so, then what was your experience?
